(EL FASHER / PORTLAND) - This is the only video in existence of the rioting and demonstration on 2 May in Darfur's El Fasher that left a number of people dead. Our source tells us, "The protest lasted the whole day, we wanted to stop around noon, but after our friends were shot we went mad and continued until 3:30 p.m." So far, reports indicate that 11 died in yesterday's fighting, and of those, we know that six were under 23 years old, 3 are women and 2 men in their mid 40. Several hundred were wounded; at least 18 of those may not make it through. Up to 200 were wounded, many more were arrested, our source tells us. "At least 300 arrested and transferred to Shalla Prison and the GOS is arresting more. At least 18 of those who were wounded will not make it." He continued, "It is going to be a real war, we are so pissed. People are talking about those photos in downtown El Fasher, I guess your articles have reached Darfur through Facebook folks." The photos and article also led to good news, we are told. Five government officials have just resigned in El Fasher after visiting the hospital today and reading the news. Those in Sudan who are reading this, we urge you to keep publishing and spreading these articles, the US government may turning a blind eye, but the awareness will bring about change and many American citizens are listening. They say "A Million Martyrs or a New Government" is the cry in El Fasher. Here is the video, it is unedited and very raw, but we are publishing every second of it, as it is at this point, the only known video of the anti-election protests in Sudan: Alysha Atma spends many hours working on projects that support and benefit the beleaguered people of African nations who spend way too much time off the western media's radar. This writer explains that she is a culmination of all her experiences, most importantly knowledge she says, and all that she still needs to learn; lessons of love, laughter and the extraordinary giving of both young and old. She says she has the enormous fortune of learning from the best; every person around her, and the amazing strength and fortitude of those she has never met but will always strive to listen to. "I continue to work and write because I believe in the power of community and the power of one, both contradictory to each other and yet can move together in a very powerful way. I feel a responsibility to use my place, freedoms and connections here in the US to stand up and yell for those who need my voice and actions. I have seen such strength in my fellow humans that I cannot even begin to comprehend, they have traveled distances, have gone without food, water, shelter and safety for days and weeks at a time. I have a responsibility as a fellow human to put our common humanity before anything else. Everyone deserves to look towards tomorrow, to dream of a safe future and to have a peaceful present."
